and covers an area of S75 square miles, be- ing s miles long by 2s miles wide, is ore of the cattle companies of the age, as its many improvements made this year go to show. It is under the unlimited control of its efficient manager and general agent, Capt. B. B. Bu!lwinkle, late superintendent. of the Fire Insurance Patrol of Chicago, an o-ganiza- tion of which he is the founder, and which has a worldwide reputation for proficiency in its line.
 At the time MT.

Morris, the range foreman, and made improvements at the ranch that makes it and the range the best improved in this part of the territory,
 The water improvements on the range, made the past year, arc of great importan ce. In one place at the summer range they have piped ou, the surplus water of spring for the distance of I,2oof feet, where il now fills seven troughs, in addition to the eight at the spring. Another spring they have pipei out 6oo feet to the reservoir of another, and from this large pipe runs 500 feet, where it then fills fifteen troughs. All troughs arc connected by iron piping and have iron bands at the ends, while the supply pipcs are controlled by brass valves with keys They have now under construction and partly built, an immense dam at Le Rou ! spring which, when finished, will have ca. Taeity of o,ooo 900 gallons of water, and which can be increased to an unlimited amount. They also have the teols, etc, for the fitting out of large constructing outfit,
 which they will statt to work esrl.; i. the
 spring continuing the improveme,t of the
 water supply of the range in the way of pip. ing out springs and water holes and the
 alling up of eapSre, 90 50 to .s~.- l~ig> reservoirs.

 line of their ran:c along the A. & P. rail | oad track, the fencing of sections 5 and 9,
 of township 2I, range 7, for the extensive ! farni.g thsy intend carfsiog on the comiAs year, th: seeds for which they already have s,o,eI m ther s,orehouse. Glover, the cha mpion rail fence builder of Arizona, has the con,r. cf for the farm fencing, while John wemhsrforI is looking alter the south line fence.

 e, lot of range cattle placed on that market
 for the year 1886.
